The questioner:
This questioner says: A woman has a brother through breastfeeding, and this woman has a full brother. Her brother through breastfeeding has a full sister, and this full sister has a daughter. The question is: Is it permissible for the full brother of that woman who has a brother through breastfeeding to marry this daughter?
The Shaykh:
Ahl, ahl.
The questioner:
A woman has a brother through breastfeeding, and this woman has a full brother.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Her brother through breastfeeding has a full sister, and this full sister has a daughter. The question is: Is it permissible for the full brother of that woman who has a brother through breastfeeding to marry this daughter?
The Shaykh:
If you were breastfed by his mother, you are a brother through breastfeeding because you were breastfed by his mother. There is no harm; your full brother may marry his sister, and he may not marry his sister’s daughter. There is no harm; he is a stranger to her. But if he was breastfed by your mother, he is a brother to your brother and a brother to your full brother, because you are from one mother. But if you mean that you were breastfed by his mother, he became your brother, and not your brother’s brother, because you were breastfed by his mother. So he is your brother, and not your brother’s brother. Your brother is a stranger to her, and he may marry his sister and his sister’s daughter, as long as there is no breastfeeding relationship between them. Yes.
